Ed Asner Is In Reba McEntire’s New ‘Somebody’s Chelsea’ Video

If you have a tough time making it through Reba McEntire‘s new song ‘Somebody’s Chelsea’ without crying, you might want to avoid the music video, unless you’re just looking for a good cry. Ed Asner stars in Reba's new video for the song as the widowed octogenarian. Almost like Andy Griffith in Brad Paisley‘s ‘Waitin’ on a Woman,’ his mere presence is enough to create sympathy.

The video stays true to the lyrics. McEntire boards a plane,  Asner ends up sitting next to her and begins telling his story. Asner only has a couple of spoken lines, but his lips keep moving as McEntire sings about undying love. Much of the video is filled with black and white photos of the couple in their early years and McEntire sitting alone at a booth for eight, nursing a glass of red wine while singing about how she longs to be appreciated as “Chelsea” was.

Near the end, a tall, handsome man introduces himself and they begin to carry on a conversation. Viewers are left with a sense of hope that Reba will find a man who can love her the same as Asner did his wife.

‘Somebody’s Chelsea’ is the fourth single from her ‘All the Woman I Am’ album. McEntire was inspired to write the song after watching the Hillary Swank movie ‘P.S. I Love You.’ In the movie, Harry Connick Jr.’s character tells Swank that “I’m going to go find somebody because one of these days, I want to be somebody’s Frank.”
